I have used the cooler for several months and have had no problem whatsoever with the plug.

My cord has the following written on it: (UL) E189672 SJT 3X14AWG VW-1 105(degree)C 300V CSA LL213732 SJT 3X14AWG FT-2 105(degree)C 300V DONGU. Not sure what that all means, but it appears to be at least 14 gauge wire capable of handling 300V at 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees F), however I have heard that the length of the extension cord can affect performance. Therefore, I suggest contacting the manufacturer to see if they offer longer cords, or can suggest where you might be able to get one with the proper specs.

I bought this for my son. He left it in a cold car and then it no longer worked. Did you expose yours to extreme temperatures?

Not sure about that, all I know is that the plug got super hot and started smelling like something was burning. So I returned it. Just be careful.

I can't find that on the heater itself. I can tell you that unfortunately, it's made in China.

I called US Wire and Cable at 800-327-4637 and was informed this cord is made in the USA *and* in China because it is their most popular one and they had to out-source it to keep up with demand. So when you place your order on-line you may get one that is made in China (or USA if you're lucky). The cords made in China are made to the same specifications as the ones made in USA. Note: Their other cords are made in the USA so if you must have a made in the USA cord, then order a different model; for instance: a) Extreme All-Weather TPE (thermo-plastic elastometer); b) Arctic/Tropic™ Oil Resistant TPE-Rubber; or c) Frigid-Flex™ TPE-Rubber.

It is hard to say,it looks well made but before I would trust it to that much heat I would email the manufacturer and ask them.Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't know because it doesn't blow out heat, it is a heating cap. No voltage on the box.

No, it is made in China. I think that just about all our stainless metal products, and stainless steel contains chromium and nickel, both which produce hazardous fumes when being cast or welded. Safety regulations won't allow it use in many places. All our chrome bumper shops, and chrome replating for other things when I was a kid, are EPA regulated out of existence at least in So. California. How many cars do you see with chrome bumpers today. I suspect the rest of the nation is the same with respect to regulations that put chromium using businesses out of business or make it so costly they wish they were out of the country. In spite of it having been made in China, it was nicely folded (bent into position) and the burrs that would have developed from drilling holes for ventilation have been polished smooth. It is a very well made and functional product. The metal is also heavy and does not warp. Hope this helps in your decision.

Greetings!I use it on my motorcycle so i put it closer to my engine so i could get a better idea how hot it is getting. Not sure what your using it on but the lead for the outside senor should be long enough to thread it through the firewall on a car to mount it outside. I attached mine with double sided tape and it has stayed put nicely.I'm very happy with mine. No problems for 4 years.

Thanks for the reply, I live in Central Wisconsin and I am planning on putting it on the oil pan of my car and I'm not sure if I should plug it in over night so it's warm by the morning because I'm not sure how long it would take to warm it up but I don't want to cause a fire either by leaving it plugged in over night.

Sorry, it is made in China and it's printed right on the cord. It's sold from a distributor in the USA. However it does the job and it seems to be well made.

It is always an assumption that you can snip off the plug and strip the insulation to bare wires. I have never done this with this particular product, so I cannot speak to the interior construction of the wire. Is it braided or solid ? I don't know. Is it copper ? I don't know. I will not make a recommendation. I will say that the wire is long enough to take a shot. If it fails, you can always buy a replacement plug and get back to where you started.

Hello, The one I purchased was made in china and weighed a little less than the original one, but I haven't had any issues. All the radiators purchased have transmission cooling line input, but if not needed you do not need to plug them as it's a seperate compartment. The radiator was a perfect fit and I would recommend it! (I've already driven approx 9k without a single issue). Cheers and good luck..

All mine says is that it's 'Assembled in China'. Whatever that means. I'd look very closely before buying one of these microwaves, mine caught fire. Luckily I caught it before it did any damage besides scorching the ceiling of the microwave. They sent someone out with a new plastic piece that covers the wires in the ceiling of the microwave and told me just paint the scorch marks, which annoyed me on a 6 month old microwave.
